Eurovision 2026 Updates and Results as Votes Announced
The four-hour show features 25 acts, Graham Norton’s commentary and public voting that can change the result at the last moment.
Today, 25 acts from across Europe compete in the Eurovision Song Contest grand final in Vienna, each hoping to clinch national glory.
Following the 2025 victory for Austria, Vienna hosts this year's contest, broadcast live on BBC One with commentator Graham Norton returning.
Each performance is capped at three minutes, but with guest segments and interviews, the show runs until 11:50pm, totaling a substantial evening.
Public votes, incorporated since 2023, and spokesperson point announcements can transform the outcome, potentially allowing a mid-table act to emerge triumphant.
You might wonder "how can I make the next four hours pass more quickly?" the Host suggests, recommending you host a Eurovision party with close friends.
